Canadian Standards and Guidelines insist that teachers have at least 3 years of experience in teaching primary literacy. The stronger the teacher is in classroom instruction, the more impact they will have in the RR role.  Criteria that a principal looks for include:
* demonstration of adaptability and problem-solving
*demonstration of strong interpersonal skills with colleagues, parents, and administrators;
*participating actively in school based professional learning and provide leadership and facilitation support.]]> 2019-02-10 19:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637221 stuckeys1 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637249 Response:
Often it is in their other teaching roles (Classroom teacher, Teacher Librarian, ESL Teacher, Prep Coverage) etc.]]> 2019-02-10 19:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637249 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637310 I’m wondering how to implement more reading recovery trained teachers when your district isn’t covering those salaries? Do I only look for teachers that can be trained in reading recovery and still serve as a classroom teacher during the day?
Response:
In order to train, the teacher must be teaching RR students each day. It is an apprenticeship model. The training in our district occurs within the instructional day.]]> 2019-02-10 19:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637310 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637366 2019-02-10 19:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637366 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637464 What are your running record expectations for end of K, end of 1st?
Response: Range of target expectations are levels 3 to 6 for K. Range of target expectations for Gr. 1 is levels 16 - 21.

If they are teaching .25 of the day, they teach 2 students one-on-one. 
.5  = 4 students one-on-one
.75 = 6 students one-on-one (this could be split between 2 teachers).]]> 2019-02-10 19:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637477 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637515 Could a RR teacher work with 2 RR kiddos and still do the rest of the day in their reg. Ed. classroom?
Response:
Our teachers often teach 2 students and spend the rest of their day teaching in a primary classroom (often grade 1).]]> 2019-02-10 19:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637515 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637656 How do classroom teachers get the PD they need if they are only bell to bell?
Response;
It can occur during PA days, and if the principal offers release during the day. Often it is a conversation with the RR teacher about a Running Record that leads to some shifts in understanding. It can also be modelling in a classroom or co-work with a teacher. All schools participate in one collaborative inquiry project with release and also all schools participate in math networks with release.]]> 2019-02-10 19:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637656 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637700 Do you recommend 2 teachers in 1 school
Response:
It can be helpful in terms of building literacy capacity to have 2 RR teachers. It depends on the FTE of the school's RR allocation. In our school district, school's receive approx. 20% allocation based on the Gr. 1 population and overall school need. In small schools there would only be 1 RR teacher.]]> 2019-02-10 19:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637700 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637905 Response:
There are many ways that we can group our students during classroom instruction - if all are neglecting a source of information, you might want to group them. Having them reading at the same instructional level is very helpful, though. It is always important to remember that although they may be in a group, we are always teaching individuals.]]> 2019-02-10 19:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329637905 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329638012 2019-02-10 19:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329638012 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329638029 2019-02-10 19:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329638029 stuckeys1 https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329642992 2019-02-10 19:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dee_verlinde/4qufdkwlhppb/wish/329642992
